Sunday Swag ~ Mixed Authors

Welcome to Sunday Swag!

I am always looking for imaginative ways to promote the romance
authors I love when I discovered this weekly feature hosted by Riverina Romantics; it comes
with the added bonus of sharing my other love {its an addiction really} of swag with the blogging
world. Congrats goes to Riverina
Romantics for this remarkable giveaway idea and for allowing BBMoreB to
join. My addiction to swag started with the Romance Trading Cards; then it was
bookmarks; then….you get the idea!

When I was small, I lived in a small Spanish village. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we would go visiting the people in our neighborhood, taking/exchanging plates of baked treats and sharing in the Christmas cheer. I live far away from there now, but the happy memories live on. For years, my mom and I baked tons of treats, then after I married and moved away, I did the same, so I 'd have baked goodies to give anyone who came by. Now, money is so tight, I can't do that, but I do offer whatever hospitality I have every day of the year (that's a Southern thing). Happy holidays.

My favorite holiday tradition was when my parents were alive. Mom and I would spend the whole day baking. Dad loved Pfeffernusse cookies and mom's traditional German recipe made a large batch which would take the two of us a bit of time to roll out into nut sized bites to bake. We usually had Christmas music playing and mom would sing along with her off tune voice. LOL!

I bake Cinnamon Rolls every Christmas morning since my eldest was 3 yrs old. He is now 17 and the number of pans have increased greatly. I also demand that they are both with me on Christmas morning, even if since they discovered social lives, they may go somewhere in the afternoon.
